Cash + $APL prize pools for memes + leaderboard.
The mid-June community competition has two tracks — memes + leaderboard. Prize pools are paid in SOL + $APL allocations. Sitting in $APL during the competition means you have the entry token to all tracks + the value upside as the competition drives engagement.
Hold $APL at the June snapshot → mint the Ape Pass. The Pass is a transferable proof-of-hold + Discord role gate. Magic Eden / Tensor secondary market opens post-mint. Sizing matters — Pass mint thresholds published before snapshot.
